When Lark was sentenced to 25 years behind bars, she thought San Judas was her lucky break. The primitive 16,000-acre community in rural New Mexico isn't like any other prison. There are no cells, there is no warden, and Mother Mercy is the law. She didn't realize she'd be fighting for survival on a daily basis - battling hunger, violent inmates, and Mother Mercy's iron fist. Lark's only friend is Bernie - an off-the-rails environmental activist doing time for arson - and a mysterious stranger who's been sending her illicit messages from the men's colony.

When people started getting sick, they thought it was just the flu. My roommate, my boyfriend, my family ...they're all gone now. I got sick too. I should have died with them-with the rest of the world-but I didn't. I thought witnessing the human population almost disappear off the face of the earth was the craziest thing I'd ever experience. I was so wrong. My name is Dani O'Connor, I'm twenty-six-years-old, and I survived the ending.

Publisher's Summary

New Caelum is virus-free, and its citizens are eager to venture outside for the first time in nearly seven years. But when an outsider shows up with a near-fatal dog bite along with a harsh message from Governor Jackson, it becomes clear: the elite people of New Caelum are not welcome outside the gates of New Caelum and new dangers lurk in the outside world.

With Cricket suffering nightmares over past battles and West discovering a dark secret his mother kept well hidden from him - a secret that threatens to tear Cricket and West apart forever, Cricket and West leave the city in search of a place for the people of New Caelum to settle. They will not only have to fight Governor Jackson's obstacles, they'll be searching for a future together neither of them is confident exists.

No cliffhanger this time LOL!

I bought this book after finishing Emerge, Book 1, in this series. Emerge left me with so many unanswered questions that I had to find out what happened in the rest of the series. Finally, with Renaissance, we get a HEA and no cliffhanger LOL. I still wish the series only had one narrator but I'm happy with the way it all played out. Emerge was the first book I'd read or listened to by this author (sci-fi and dystopian/apocalyptic books are not my thing) but I will probably try more books by this author based on this series.
